matplotlib.figure — Matplotlib documentation

matplotlib.figure

matplotlib.figure implements the following classes:

Figure

Top level Artist, which holds all plot elements. Many methods are implemented in FigureBase.

SubFigure

A logical figure inside a figure, usually added to a figure (or parent SubFigure) with Figure.add_subfigure or Figure.subfigures methods.

Figures are typically created using pyplot methods figure, subplots, and subplot_mosaic.

fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(2, 2), facecolor='lightskyblue',
                      layout='constrained')
fig.suptitle('Figure')
ax.set_title('Axes', loc='left', fontstyle='oblique', fontsize='medium')

Some situations call for directly instantiating a Figure class, usually inside an application of some sort (see Embedding Matplotlib in graphical user interfaces for a list of examples). More information about Figures can be found at Introduction to Figures.
